Newsstand - Uncertainty ahead for United travelers

http://www.dailyherald.com/business/businessstory.asp?id=68783

United Airlines says it will be business as usual this Fourth of July travel weekend but United flight attendants are threatening strikes and picket lines.

The Association of Flight Attendants said Thursday its members have the right to strike or picket because the bankrupt airline on Thursday handed over their pension plans to a government insurance agency, which will pay only part of what United would have owed them.

How the union can strike and not damage the airline has some observers stumped.

“If you pull this stupid C.H.A.O.S. stuff, it will kill the airline,” said Michael Boyd, a Colorado-based airline consultant. “Even threatening to strike causes damage to the airline.”

Uncertainty ahead for United travelers---there's a phrase I haven't heard for a week... :rolleyes:

The only uncertainty is when AFA management will stop lying about striking.

They're threats are emptier then hard vacuum.

Blah blah Ginger, blah blah blah blah :rolleyes:

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- After languishing for almost three years in bankruptcy, United Airlines announced Friday that it will lay out its roadmap to get back on track early next month.

Since parent UAL Corp. filed for Chapter 11 protection in December 2002, the No. 2 carrier has slashed its ranks, defaulted on its pensions and restructured its flight operations in a bid to make it through the historic downturn that followed the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Blah blah Ginger, blah blah blah blah :rolleyes:

Will you accept a collect call from a Mr. AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH? :D
